WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is preparing to redirect resources of the Justice Department’s civil rights division toward investigating and suing universities over affirmative action admissions policies deemed to discriminate against white applicants, according to a document obtained by The New York Times.
The document, an internal announcement to the civil rights division, seeks current lawyers interested in working for a new project on “investigations and possible litigation related to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions.”

Researches at Facebook shut down an artificial intelligence program after it created its own language. Initially it looks absolute gibberish, but it became clear that the machines – nicknamed Bob and Alice – were actually communicating with one another in a faster way.
In a Frankenstein twist on their research, the robots abruptly stopped using English to and could only be understood by other AI. It comes after other AI developed in a similar pattern elsewhere, like when Google Translate invented its own language.

“Gender Unicorn”, Parents Outraged!

More parents are speaking out as more teachers adopt the "gender unicorn" method of "teaching" sex education. The so-called “gender unicorn” is raising concerns and sparking anger across more states as teachers involved in sex education adopt the mythical character, which was created by transgender activists to teach children as young as age five about sex and gender identity. Why does a child as young as five need to be exposed to this confusing material? This is still the question many are asking.
http://www.trunews.com/article/gender-unicorn-parents-outraged
The Daily Caller reports that the creators call the gender unicorn an upgrade to the "gender bread person", by replacing the man with a sexually ambiguous mythical creature. In addition to a host of semantic issues, the gender unicorn’s creators state that the male and female binary in biology is “a European construct.” The organization that created it says it is “dedicated to transforming the educational environment for trans and gender nonconforming students through advocacy and empowerment.”
Writing for the Oregonian, Elizabeth Hovde says that elementary and middle-schoolers in her school district’s health curriculum haven’t been subjected to learning about the gender unicorn by the schools themselves, but some of their teachers have been more than eager to adopt the mythical character as an educational reference.
This is somewhat in contrast to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district in Charlotte, N.C., which adopted the transgenderism-promoting training materials in late 2016. In Alberta, Canada, the top teacher’s union fully embraced the gender unicorn as part of their kit on sex education.
Hovde says that the Oregon Department of Education allows teachers “some leeway” on the use of supplemental materials, so long as they line up with teaching standards—a fact that might bring the use of the gender unicorn into question given its subject matter.

Deal could put Wisconsin taxpayers on the hook for $3 billion to the Taiwanese company
>A wide array of Wisconsin environmental regulations would be waived in an effort to speed up construction of a $10 billion Foxconn electronics factory under a proposal Gov. Scott Walker unveiled July 29.
>Walker's deal also would put taxpayers on the hook for paying up to $200 million a year to the Taiwan-based Foxconn Technology Group as an incentive for locating a plant in the state. That give-away comes on top of Wisconsin's practice of not charging taxes on manufacturing credits in the state.
>The total deal would cost the state $3 billion.
>Walker called on the Republican-controlled Legislature to consider his measure as early as tomorrow, but that doesn't appear likely. His plan also would borrow $252 million to finish rebuilding Interstate 94, which connects Milwaukee with Chicago and runs near where the massive display panel factory is expected to be built.
>The plant would be the first outside of Asia to produce liquid crystal display monitors used in computers, televisions and other devices. Walker calls it a once-a-generation opportunity to transform Wisconsin’s economy.
>The envisioned factory, expected to open in 2020, would be 20 million square feet on a campus that spans 1.56-square-miles in what Walker is calling the “Wisconn Valley.” It would initially employ 3,000 people, but the deal calls for that to grow to 13,000 within six years.
>According to Walker, failure to create and maintain jobs will affect Foxconn’s annual payout from the state’s government.
>The Milwaukee Business Journal reported that the Bucks are pitching Foxconn on naming rights to the team’s new stadium and that the company has been exploring the prospect of opening an office in downtown Milwaukee.

>Walker, who’s expected to run for a third term next year, took to the air on July 29 in a campaign-style airplane tour to make the case that the entire state would benefit from a plant three-times the size of the Pentagon.
>“There’s a whole lot of people out there scrambling to try and come up with a reason not to like this,” Walker said in Eau Claire. “I can tell you, that’s fine but I think they can go suck lemons. The rest of us are going to cheer and figure out how we get this thing going forward.”
>Environmental groups are among those with reasons not to like his plan. It would allow Foxconn, without permits, to discharge dredged materials, fill wetlands, change the course of streams, build artificial bodies of water that connect with natural waterways and build on a riverbed or lakebed.
>Foxconn would also be exempt from having to create a state environmental impact statement, something required for much smaller projects.
>“Building economic strength, creating jobs, and protecting Wisconsin’s vulnerable natural resources are not mutually exclusive endeavors," Kerry Schumann, executive director of the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters, said in a prepared statement.
>"We all love Wisconsin." she continued. "We want Wisconsin’s economy to be as healthy as its drinking water, air, lakes, and rivers.
>"We were surprised by Gov. Walker’s radical exemptions for Foxconn. A rollback of such an extreme nature is unnecessary. Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters asks legislators to get the job done right — protect their constituents’ public health and water resources by rejecting the sweeping anti-conservation exemptions in the Foxconn bill.”
>The location of the new plant might also become a troublesome part of the deal. Although the exact location has not been determined, Foxconn is focusing its search on sites in Racine and Kenosha counties.
>>
>“Gov. Walker has some explaining to do to taxpayers in every corner of the state who will foot the bill for this deal on the Illinois border,” said Scot Ross, director of the liberal activist group One Wisconsin Now.
>Walker might have anticipated that objection in choosing to take his campaign-style rollout of the deal to La Crosse, Eau Claire and Wausau.
>Lobbyist Bill McCoshen, who helped negotiate economic development deals in Gov. Tommy Thompson’s administration, said bipartisan support for the project should help ease the bill’s passage.
>Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin attended President Donald Trump’s White House announcement of the deal, and two-time Walker challenger Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett praised it at a signing event on July 28. Other Democratic lawmakers have spoken in support.
>University of Wisconsin-Madison agricultural economist Steve Deller said that based on what he knows of the deal, the state structured it in the most responsible way possible.
>“It seems as though, if you’re going to do this, this is the way to go about it,” he said.
>One of the harshest critics within the Legislature is Democratic state Sen. Dave Hansen, who represents Green Bay. He said moving quickly on the $3 billion incentive package would be “a serious case of legislative malpractice.”
>Hansen expressed concerns that Foxconn would replace jobs at the plant with robots, as it has done at other facilities.
>“Before the governor and legislators mortgage the future of Wisconsin taxpayers, possibly for decades, they should think very carefully about the long-term needs of the state rather than their own re-election,” Hansen said.
>A group of four Republican lawmakers from northeast Wisconsin pushed back against Hansen’s claims.
>>
>Rep. David Steffen, of Green Bay, said there will be countless economic benefits across the state. Walker’s administration has estimated that there will be 22,000 other new jobs in construction and other associated fields thanks to the project.
>“To think that someone would actively cheer against this type of economic growth is insane,” Steffen said.

Why is it everyone believes they have a right to threaten and interfere with North Korea?
Aren't they a sovereign nation?
Their "suffering rate" is less than other Countries, even with the famines and camps.
By comparison the Unites States has a higher percentage of prisoners.
In all honesty this all seems like a convient excuse for South Korea to expand North because they've run out of real estate, and America has probably struck an economic or military deal with them.

any invasion of the north by the south would be an unmitigated economic disaster as they were swarmed under by refugees from the north with no actual marketable skills, all while having to rebuild 4/5 of seoul due to the rain of artillery from DPRK HART sites situated on the DMZ.
there's no real advantage, save perhaps a geopolitical one in nudging up against the chinese border (which may well start WWIII on it's own) from conquering the north.

A machete-wielding man shouting Allahu Akbar has killed one and injured several others after going on the rampage through a German supermarket this afternoon according to German news agency dpa and the Hamburg police. The attack happened on the corner of Fuhlsbüttler and Hermann-Kauffmann streets in the north of the city, police said. People were warned to stay away from the area. Witnesses said the attack happened at a branch of Edeka, Germany's largest supermarket chain.
s Focus adds, an unknown attacker indiscriminately attacked customers in a supermarket branch in the Hamburg district of Barmbek with a knife and killed a man. After the attack, the perpetrator escaped. Witnesses followed him and informed the police. The officers were then able to arrest the man in the vicinity of the crime scene.
Bild newspaper published a photo of a man purported to be the attacker covered in blood. It said police were looking for a second man. The newspaper said the attacker began wildly striking at shoppers before being stopped by police.
According to Bild, the man shouted 'Allahu Akbar' as he launched the attack. A witness told the newspaper: 'The man has suddenly struck out on customers, there was one dead and several injured.'
The Hamburg police has confirmed the attack on Twitter. There were no details behind the attack motive.
Local media also reports that a terror alarm had been triggered. The police also added that 'initial reports about robbery as a possible motive so far have not been confirmed.'
Germany remains on high alert following a series of terror attacks in the country last year.

You'd hear way way more, there are literally dozens of attacks every day, but unless someone is outright slaughtered in public the state controlled news in germany will not report it. And the people can't talk about it either. In germany simply stating "a muslim killed someone" on your facebook can land you in jail for hatespeech.

Ted Genoways was an Eagle Scout. So was his father. And his son is likely to become one next summer. So when he blasted Donald Trump in a Tweetstorm after the president's speech at the annual National Scout Jamboree, it caught people's attention.
For the past 80 years, presidents have stayed away from politics in their talks to the tens of thousands of Scouts and their families that gather at the event, instead discussing topics like good citizenship and helping others. Trump broke away from that, hitting his favorite bullet points of fake news, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama's legacy.
Genoways did not appreciate the overtly political address:
The author of This Blessed Earth: A Year in the Life of an American Family, says Trump turned the talk into a stump speech for no reason, saying, "He made the national gathering of Boy Scouts about himself only [because] he makes everything [about] himself."
While Genoways admits to having a "conflicted" relationship with the Scouts, he accuses the president of making "a mockery" of the ideals they stand for—and he urged the Boy Scouts to disavow the statements.
Genoways might have a deeper scout pedigree than some others, but he was hardly the only Scout parent who was upset at the speech. Twitter was flooded with comments from parents who had plenty to add.
In a statement about the Jamboree speech, the Boy Scouts didn't directly address Trump's topics, instead noting that the organization is "wholly non-partisan and does not promote any one position, product, service, political candidate or philosophy. The invitation for the sitting U.S. President to visit the National Jamboree is a long-standing tradition and is in no way an endorsement of any political party or specific policies."

http://www.npr.org/2017/08/01/540783715/lawsuit-alleges-fox-news-and-trump-supporter-created-fake-news-story?
The Fox News Channel and a wealthy supporter of President Trump worked in concert under the watchful eye of the White House to concoct a story about the death of a young Democratic National Committee aide, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.
The explosive claim is part of the lawsuit filed against Fox News by Rod Wheeler, a longtime paid commentator for the news network. The suit was obtained exclusively by NPR.
Wheeler alleges Fox News and the Trump supporter intended to deflect public attention from growing concern about the administration's ties to the Russian government. His suit charges that a Fox News reporter created quotations out of thin air and attributed them to him to propel her story.
Fox's president of news, Jay Wallace, told NPR on Monday there was no "concrete evidence" that Wheeler was misquoted by the reporter, Malia Zimmerman. The news executive did not address a question about the story's allegedly partisan origins. Fox News declined to allow Zimmerman to comment for this story.
The story, which first aired in May, was retracted by Fox News a week later. Fox News has, to date, taken no action in response to what it said was a failure to adhere to the network's standards.
The lawsuit focuses particular attention on the role of the Trump supporter, Ed Butowsky, in weaving the story. He is a wealthy Dallas investor and unpaid Fox commentator on financial matters who has emerged as a reliable Republican surrogate in recent years. Butowsky offered to pay for Wheeler to investigate the death of the DNC aide, Seth Rich, on behalf of his grieving parents in Omaha, Neb.
On April 20, a month before the story ran, Butowsky and Wheeler — the investor and the investigator — met at the White House with then-press secretary Sean Spicer to brief him on what they were uncovering.

>>
The first page of the lawsuit quotes a voicemail and text from Butowsky boasting that President Trump himself had reviewed drafts of the Fox News story just before it went to air and was published.
Spicer now tells NPR that he took the meeting as a favor to Butowsky, a reliable Republican voice. Spicer says he was unaware of any contact involving the president. Butowsky now tells NPR that he was kidding about Trump's involvement.
"Rod Wheeler unfortunately was used as a pawn by Ed Butowsky, Fox News and the Trump administration to try and steer away the attention that was being given about the Russian hacking of the DNC e-mails," said Douglas Wigdor, Wheeler's lawyer.
The back story
On May 16, the Fox News Channel broke what it called a bombshell story about an unsolved murder case: the fatal July 2016 shooting of 27-year-old Democratic Party staffer Seth Rich.
Unfounded conspiracy theories involving Rich abounded in the months after his death, in part because WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange cryptically suggested that his death may have been related to the leaks of tens of thousands of emails from Democratic Party officials and their allies at the peak of the presidential campaign.
Fox News' story, which took flight online and ran in segments across major shows, breathed fresh life into the rumors. Fox reported that the leaks came from inside the party and not from hackers linked to Russia — despite the conclusions of the nation's most senior intelligence officials. The network suggested that Democrats might have been connected to Rich's death and that a cover-up had thwarted the official investigation.
The network cited an unnamed FBI official. And the report relied heavily on Wheeler, a former police detective, hired months earlier on behalf of the Riches by Butowsky.
>>
These developments took place during growing public concerns over a federal investigation into the Trump camp's possible collusion with the Russian government during the campaign. The allegations have since touched the president's son and son-in-law, his former campaign manager, his attorney general and his first national security adviser, who resigned as a result.
The question of Rich's death took on greater urgency for Butowsky after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in early May. Comey had been overseeing the Russia investigation. The story ran just a week later.
Fox's report went sideways shortly after it was posted online and aired on Fox & Friends. It was denounced by the Rich family, D.C. police, Democratic Party officials and even, privately, by some journalists within the network. Within hours, Wheeler told other news outlets that Fox News had put words in his mouth.
Despite those concerns, Wheeler appeared on the shows of Fox Business host Lou Dobbs and Fox News star Sean Hannity, who devoted significant time to the story that night and in subsequent days. In speaking with Wheeler, Hannity said: "If this is true and Seth Rich gave WikiLeaks the DNC e-mails ... this blows the whole Russia collusion narrative completely out of the water."
A week later, on May 23, Fox retracted the story, saying the reporting process failed to live up to its standards. Hannity said he would take a break from talking about Rich's murder out of respect for the family. And there it has largely stood — until now.

The fake news story
In the lawsuit, the private investigator sets out a different version of events. Wheeler was a paid Fox News contributor since 2005. He alleges the story was orchestrated behind the scenes and from the outset by Butowsky, the Dallas wealth management consultant and also Fox News commentator, who hired him for the Rich family.
The following account reflects the verbatim quotes provided from the texts, emails, voicemails, and recorded conversations cited in Wheeler's lawsuit, except as otherwise noted.
According to the lawsuit, Trump's press secretary Sean Spicer met at the White House with Wheeler and Butowsky to review the Rich story a month before Fox News ran the piece.
On May 14, about 36 hours before Fox News' story appeared, Butowsky left a voicemail for Wheeler, saying, "We have the full, uh, attention of the White House on this. And tomorrow, let's close this deal, whatever we've got to do."
Butowsky also texted Wheeler: "Not to add any more pressure but the president just read the article. He wants the article out immediately. It's now all up to you."
Spicer admits to meeting with the two but denies claims about the president.
"Ed's been a longtime supporter of the president and asked to meet to catch up," Spicer told NPR on Monday night. "I didn't know who Rod Wheeler was. Once we got into my office, [Butowsky] said, 'I'm sure you recognize Rod Wheeler from Fox News.' "
Spicer said Butowsky laid out what they had found about the case. "It had nothing to do with advancing the president's domestic agenda — and there was no agenda," Spicer says now. "They were just informing me of the [Fox] story."
Spicer says he is not aware of any contact, direct or not, between Butowsky and Trump. And Butowsky now tells NPR he has never shared drafts of the story with Trump or his aides — that he was joking with a friend.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and other Democratic lawmakers are cranking up the heat on President Trump to address high prescription drug costs.
>Sanders introduced a bill Tuesday that would allow the importation of prescription drugs from Canadian pharmacies, as long as they meet certain safety standards.
>Trump shouldn't hesitate to support it, lawmakers said, because he campaigned on the promise to bring down drug prices.
>"We're attacking this problem by focusing on ideas that even President Trump says he supports," said Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the sponsor of the bill companion bill in the House.

Fancy nails, music speakers and even nipple spinners are just a few things that have so far been created – and now LUSH is jumping on the bandwagon, with its very own fidget spinner bubble bar.
The bubble bar, which is made using natural ingredients such as sodium carbonate, cream of tartar, limonene, lime oil, lemon oil and grapefruit oil, is relatively small and comes decorated in pink, blue and yellow, on a white base.
The bar comes moulded around a wooden knob to hold it in place as you spin.
The spinner is small enough to sit perfectly between your fingers so that it can easily spin much like the real thing.
LUSH is keeping the fidget spinner trend alive with its latest bubble bar
Once in the water, the spinner creates a copious amount of bubbles, and the water turns yellow – and according to LUSH, the bar releases lemon and lime scents, making it one seriously refreshing bath.
Best of all, unlike other bubble bars, this one is reusable. It doesn’t take long for bubbles to form, so the bar only needs to be dipped in the water for a few minutes before you pop it back onto the side and let it mould back to its original form, ready for a future spin.
And as this bubble bar is only £4.95, it’s totally worth it – not just because it lasts, but because you get to play with a citrus-scented bubble bar as you condition your hair (which is much more fun than nearly dropping your phone in the bath, FYI).
The only downside is that the bubble bar is currently out of stock. I mean, it’s no surprise – as LUSH shared a video of the bubble bar in use and customers went pretty crazy for it.

President Trump campaigned on a populist platform, talking to working people. That’s why he won. But as soon as he got into office, he abandoned them, making alliance with the powerful, special interest, Koch brother-dominated, hard-right wing of the Republican Party, which appeals to the very wealthy, not the working people, leaving a vacuum on economic issues. We Democrats are going to fill that vacuum. Democrats will show the country we are the party on the side of working people. ...

(((Democrats))) think appealing to the white goyim is mo money for dem programs: opioid addiction clinics and housing edition
how can one party with 40% of the white vote get it so wrong all the time? the answer isn't more gibs, it's a better economy, genuine jobs, a feeling that you are working and making a difference, things that whites understand and like
if this doesn't prove our politics is now mostly racially motivated (albeit disguised as not) then I don't know what will

More than three years ago, a Mexican teenager crossed the border into America at a Border Patrol check point. After the authorities found a suspicious liquid in his backpack, the teen voluntarily drank some of the liquid. He claimed it was apple juice he’d bought across the border. It wasn’t. It was meth in a liquid form.
He died shortly after. And now the federal court in San Diego has awarded his family $1 million to settle a lawsuit with his family.
Cruz Marcelino Velázquez Acevedo, 16, died from a massive overdose on Nov. 18, 2013. He drank the liquid in an attempt to fool the border patrol agents interrogating him.
The family’s lawsuit alleged that “the two agents told a young man to drink the liquid to prove to them that it was fruit juice and not a drug.” Eugene Iredale, the family’s attorney, told the court that he “did that, and as a result, he died.”
The suit claimed that Velasquez was the victim of wrongful death, assault and battery, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Even though the suit was settled, the officers, Valerie Baird and Adrian Parellon, are still working for CBP in San Diego.
CBP released a statement Friday. “Although, we are not able to speak about this specific case, training and the evaluation of CBP policies and procedures are consistently reviewed as needed,” the statement read.
Though the family hasn’t come forward to talk about the settlement, the Mexican Consular General in San Diego has. “It’s never enough when you lose a human life,” said Marcela Celorio. “The family lost their son, and the father was very committed to finding justice. What’s important is that the family is at peace […] with the agreement that was reached.”

The family’s attorney don’t think that Velázquez was a drug dealer. He had no record. The family believes he’d been paid to carry the liquid over the border, and had no idea what it would do to him. “We believe he was paid some small amount of money,” Irdedale said. “The going rate is $100 or $200, that they gave the kids to cross the border.”
“I don’t think they deliberately set out to kill the boy,” the attorney said. “But they did, in telling him to drink it in order to prove to themselves — or have him prove to them — that it was in fact what he said it was as opposed to a drug, which is what they suspected.”
Part of the settlement centered on testimony from another CPB officer. He told the court that one of the officers had said to him: “Oh my God, I told him to drink it, I asked him what it was, he said it was juice, I said, ‘Well then prove it.’”
“Although it is obvious in hindsight that Cruz acted recklessly in drinking from the bottle and that may have been attributable to his age and poor judgment, that fact does not alter the analysis. … There must also be coercive or deceptive tactics employed by officers to exploit a suspect’s vulnerabilities. No such tactics were used in this case,” Barton Hegeler, Perallon’s attorney, wrote.
Just who did or didn’t say what is highly disputed. The San Diego Union Tribune reports that Officers Perallon said Baird have turned on each other. Each has accused the other of being the one who instigated the meth drinking.
One thing is certain. There were test kits available that were not used. There was a canine officer that responded as soon as symptoms presented. While it may not have been intentional, it remains a high profile tragedy.

Debbie Schultz and Awan Brothers: Its Bad

The case of Imran Awan, Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s mysterious Pakistani IT guy, is not about bank fraud.
Yet bank fraud was the stated charge on which Awan was arrested at Dulles Airport this week, just as he was trying to flee the United States for Pakistan, via Qatar. That is the same route taken by Awan’s wife, Hina Alvi, in March, when she suddenly fled the country, with three young daughters she yanked out of school, mega-luggage, and $12,400 in cash.
By then, the proceeds of the fraudulent $165,000 loan they’d gotten from the Congressional Federal Credit Union had been sent ahead. It was part of a $283,000 transfer that Awan managed to wire from Capitol Hill. He pulled it off — hilariously, if infuriatingly — by pretending to be his wife in a phone call with the credit union. Told that his proffered reason for the transfer (“funeral arrangements”) wouldn’t fly, “Mrs.” Awan promptly repurposed: Now “she” was “buying property.” Asking no more questions, the credit union wired the money . . . to Pakistan.
As you let all that sink in, consider this: Awan and his family cabal of fraudsters had access for years to the e-mails and other electronic files of members of the House’s Intelligence and Foreign Affairs Committees. It turns out they were accessing members’ computers without their knowledge, transferring files to remote servers, and stealing computer equipment — including hard drives that Awan & Co. smashed to bits of bytes before making tracks.
They were fired in February. All except Awan, that is. He continued in the employ of Wasserman Schultz, the Florida Democrat, former DNC chairwoman, and Clinton crony. She kept him in place at the United States Congress right up until he was nabbed at the airport on Monday. (cont.)
